Alas, now I've read this brief article on what constitutes lit fic I've gone from feeling ignorantly and contingently unable to define it to definitively and clearly sure that I cannot define it.
It seems to mean "good writing," AFAICT, and if you're opposed to it I guess you might be self-consciously identifying as a genre writer? In which case you might deliberately eschew stylistic flourishes?
Who is emphatically opposed to literary fiction? Are they opposed to classics, or just to lit fic being written right now? Perhaps there is a narrow, mannered group of writers who are the true targets of this opposition?
